Early life and education

Jacobs received a BA in English Language and Literature from Iowa State University in 1993, and an MA in French Language and Literature from Syracuse University in 2003.

Career

Jacobs started her journalism as a general assignment reporter for The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier in 1993 where she covered metro news and city government, before becoming a reporter at The Post-Standard in Syracuse in 1999.[4]

Jacobs became a political reporter for The Des Moines Register in 2004, where she covered the Iowa legislature and state government, until she moved into national politics following the Iowa caucuses when she was appointed chief politics reporter in 2011.

Jacobs became a national political reporter for Bloomberg several months ahead of the 2016 presidential election.[5] She was quickly appointed a White House reporter, and has consistently been among the lead reporters covering the Trump administration.[6][7] Jacobs has appeared on PBS, CNN and MSNBC.[8][9]

Trump-Bloomberg coverage

Jacobs became the target of ire by the Trump 2020 presidential campaign after Bloomberg News announced it would not conduct reporting on any 2020 Democratic presidential candidates after its owner, Michael Bloomberg, announced he was running for president. In February 2020, Jacobs was escorted out of a Trump rally in Iowa.[10][11][12][13]
